Cell Parts and Functions

Jelly like substance found outside of the nucleus. Cytoplasm
Contains almost all of the cells DNA. Nucleus
Gives coded instructions for making proteins and other important molecules DNA
Beginning of the assembly of ribosomes and found in the nucleus Nucleolus
Large, saclike, membrane enclosed structure, stores water, salts, protein and carbohydrates Vacuole
A single large vacuole found filled with liquid is found in a __________ cell Plant
The porous membrane, found around the nucleus, that is made of two layers and allows material to move in and out of the nucleus. Nuclear Envelope
What kind of organism has a contractile vacuole that rhythmically pumps water in and out of the cell Unicellular
Stores and moves material between cell organelles as well as to and from the cell surface Vesicle
Known as the clean up crew Lysosomes
The cytoskeleton threadlike microfilaments are made of a protein called Actin
Network of protein filaments that give shape and internal organization to the cell Cytoskeleton
Which part of the cytoskeleton is responsible for forming a mitotic spindle? Microtubules
Contains enzymes that break down lipids, carbohydrates and proteins that can be used by the rest of the cell Lysosomes
Involved in moving the entire cell as in flagella or cilia Cytoskeleton
The cytoskeletons hollow microtubules are made of a protein called Tubulins
In animal cells, centrioles are made from the cytoskeletons protein called Tubulins
Microtubules are arranged in a ____ + _____ pattern 9 + 2
Which part of cytoskeleton helps to form the flagella and cilia? Microtubules
Ribosomes, Endoplasmic Reticulum and Golgi Apparatus help to make and transport _____________ Proteins
Which material, in a cell, helps to catalyze reactions and make structures in a cell? Proteins
Internal membrane system found in Eukaryotic cells Endoplasmic Reticulum
Contains enzymes that synthesize membrane lipids and large amounts are found in the liver for detoxification of drugs Smooth ER
Small particles of RNA and Protein, cells that are very active in protein synthesis contain a large number of these. Ribosomes
Appears as a stack of flattened membranes in eukaryotic cells Golgi apparatus
Found in plant cells and captures energy form the sun and uses photosynthesis to convert it to food. Chloroplast
Ribosomes can be found on its surface causing it to have the description of rough. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Found in prokaryotic cells, function is to support, shape and protect the cell, porous enough to allow water, oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass through Cell Wall
Modifies, sorts and packages proteins and other materials from the Rough ER before being released for storage in the cell or sent out of the cell Golgi apparatus
The Rough ER is responsible for synthesizing ____________ that will be released from the cell, become part of the membrane or destined for lysosomes Proteins
It is called the Smooth ER because _____________ are not found on its surface. Ribosomes
Converts chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are used by the cell. Mostly found in eukaryotic cells Mitochondria
Made of a lipid bilayer that provides a strong barrier between cell and surroundings. Cell Membrane
Tail end of lipid that does not like water. It is known to be ____________ Hydrophobic
Head end of the lipid that does like water. It is known to be ______________ Hydrophilic
